I am using Ubuntu 14.04. I like default unity desktop environment, but now I want to try Kubuntu. So please tell me a way to do that.

I should have options for choosing which desktop environment to start at log in screen as i do not want to replace unity with KDE. So please help me... Thanks in advance!!!!
